ground, where my father was standing on the edge of the forest.
    In a heartbeat the strange man latched onto my father, but my father had the courage to take his fist and knock off the strange man.
    Suddenly, after the punch had separated my father from the strange man, my father fell backwards into the extremely the deep waterfall, into the darkness.
    Morning had arrived, sun shining the forest, blazing up the forest mist.
     
     
    My father was face down on the muddy shore. He had the sunshine warming his back up for a few hours.
    He was lucky. He fell in a way that did not injure him, or maybe he was so drunk that the alcohol numbed the pain.
    He managed to get up and walk away from that fall, with just a few scratches, bruises, and a sore neck.
    The strange man had not hurt my father, since he was able to knock the strange man off him before he was able to hurt him.
    My father made his way back to the farm. He took a hot shower and rested outside in the warm sun by Hectors grave.
    He was still drinking bottles of whiskey since he had plenty to spare, and needed it.
    He was outside most of the day, just staring into the blue clear skies, and soaked up the sun. By the end of the afternoon my father was sunburnt, but he didn’t care at all.
    That was the least of his worries.
    He headed to his shed to have a look at his arsenal. My father kept all kinds of neat stuff in his shed. He called it his office. He was the only one aloud in his office.
     
     
    To him it was all business. I once snuck in his office when he wasn’t around. I admired all of his stuff. They were like toys to me.
    He had a collection of cross bows, rifles, machetes, hunting knives, boxes of bullets.
    Sometimes I thought my father was trying to start a war. I used to pick up his weapons, but I never actually shot, or really used any of them.
    I just liked to touch them. I knew playing with them was off limits. I wasn’t even supposed to be in my father’s office.
    If he had ever caught me in there, I wondered what he would have done to punish me. He loved me too much to do anything bad.
    My mother wasn’t even aloud in my father’s office. Once she told me when I play outside to stay out of daddies shed.
    Telling me to stay out of somewhere was just going to make me want to go out and sneak in. It was like putting my whole hand deep into the cookie jar. I just had to have it; I wanted to play with my father’s toys.
    My father would sometimes be in his office day and night, because I could see the light of his office during the night, and would never see much of him during the day.
     
     
    I knew he was in and out of his office, but I couldn’t go in there, not even around it. I guess it was for my own safety to keep me out of that area.
    My father wanted me to use weapons, but my mother would not allow it, obviously my mom just wanted me to stick with playing with Barbie dolls.
    I was after all the son my father never had, and wanted to always impress my father.
    I hoped to impress him, and show him that even a girl can do things a guy could do, but better. I just wanted to be everything my father wanted me to be, and a lot more.
    My mother would have gone nuts if she knew I was sneaking into my father’s office playing around with his toys, and I would never hear the end of it that was for sure.
    I was going in and out of my father’s office every day , since I had nothing better to do with my time, I was more like my father than my mother.
    Morning had finally arrived, and my father and I had fallen asleep, after a long night of storytelling by the fire.
    The morning air was cool and fresh, but the sky was grey with no sunshine in sight. My father started a fire to warm us up.
     
     
     
    That morning we only had sausages to eat. My father was quite that morning, and he asked if I had slept well, and if I was enjoying myself.
    I actually slept pretty good considering I didn’t have a nice cozy bed to sleep in. I was spoiled back at the
